68 S Code:
Per 68 Osborn assembly manual it states that assembly and torquing of rear universal joint u-bolts is to be done with 300 lbs (300 ft lbs?) of pressure on the cups with a clamp. See page 35. Do you guys typically do it this way

J_Speegle:
Never torqued them

carlite65:
after making sure the cups are firmly seated i use a drop of loctite on the u-bolt threads. then just 'good & tight' in a crisscross pattern........never had a problem.

68 S Code:
Thanks guys. I'm sure my torque wrench doesn't even go to 300.

midlife:
Probably a mis-print.  I could believe 300 in-pounds.
